3X3 Cube Solver

A dynamic and visually engaging Rubik's Cube solver application built using Python. This project includes features like custom scrambles, a 3D visualization using VPython, and automated solving mechanisms. Perfect for both Rubik's Cube enthusiasts and developers interested in exploring computational approaches to puzzle-solving.

Features

  • 3D Visualization: Real-time 3D Rubik's Cube simulation powered by VPython.
  • Custom Scrambles: Create and visualize your own scrambles.
  • Random Scrambles: Generate random scrambles and visualize them.
  • Automated Solving: Solve the cube using pre-defined algorithms, displayed step-by-step in the 3D environment.
  • Tkinter GUI: User-friendly interface for cube control, scrambles, and solving.
  • Multiple Rotations: Perform all standard cube moves (U, D, R, L, F, B) and rotations (x, y, z), along with their inverses.
  • Solve Algorithms: Incorporates advanced solving techniques, including F2L (First Two Layers), OLL (Orientation of Last Layer), and PLL (Permutation of Last Layer).

Installation

  1. Clone the Repository

    git clone https://github.com/ShubhamAggarwal6105/3x3-CUBE-SOLVER.git
cd 3x3-CUBE-SOLVER

  2. Install Required Libraries Ensure you have Python installed, then install the required packages:

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  3. Run the Application Execute the main script to launch the application:

    python main.py

Usage

GUI Overview

  1. New Cube: Resets the cube to its solved state.
  2. Shuffle: Generates a random scramble and displays it on the cube.
  3. Custom Scramble: Enter a custom scramble to visualize.
  4. Solve Cube: Automatically solves the scrambled cube step-by-step.

Command Execution

  • Input standard cube moves (e.g., U, R', F2) in the "Enter move(s)" field.
  • Use the rotation buttons to rotate the entire cube in the 3D view.

Features in Action

  • Explore various solving techniques via the automated solving feature.
  • Generate and study custom or random scrambles with ease.
